LuValle Commons and Jimmy’s Coffeehouse have closed indefinitely because of a gas leak, according to signs posted outside the building Monday. 

Students can still access the UCLA Store at LuValle Commons, according to an ASUCLA sign placed outside the restaurant. The sign did not include information about when the restaurants will reopen. 

Alternative dining options nearby include Northern Lights, Cafe 451 and Anderson Cafe, according to the sign. 

UCLA Media Relations did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the gas leak and when the university plans to reopen LuValle Commons and Jimmy’s Coffeehouse.

Jimmy’s Coffeehouse serves Peet’s Coffee, and LuValle Commons houses several restaurants, including Epazote, Burger Assembly, Fusion and All Rise Pizza. 

“We are working to reopen as soon as it is safe to do so,” according to a flyer posted outside the building.
